Trump responds to Mueller, calls him 'a true never Trumper'

President Donald Trump responded harshly to special counsel Robert Mueller for the first time on camera Thursday morning saying “Robert Mueller should have never been chosen" and calling him 'a true never Trumper."

The president spoke to reporters as he left for a trip to Colorado a day after Mueller broke more than two years of silence about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump obstructed justice, saying he did not have the "option" of charging the president with a crime but that "if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so."

Despite that, Trump insisted, "He said essentially you're innocent. There was no crime, there was no charge because he had no information."

...Before speaking to reporters, Trump tweeted that he had "nothing to do with Russia helping me get elected," however, shortly after tweeting he seemed to walk back that statement.

That Congress and the Government serves HIM?????

Then he might as well throw me in jail because I WILL NEVER be a Trumper.

The Republican Party is now the Trumper Party. Let us use that term wherever we post.
